In the Eyes of the Law
To society I’m just a teen
Almost an adult, but still so green
Held back by an invisible screen
That makes, to society, a difference between
Being the ages of seventeen and eight-teen
I’m told the world is not what it seems to be
In a world full of people you’re as small as a pea
Not everyday goes by like a cup of tea
No one breaks out in a song like in glee
You have to, in you’re mind, be able to see
That not everything and everybody in this society is free
Society lays upon us rule after rule
Insisting they be followed but not overruled
Even at a young age, institutionalizing them in school
But what they don’t realize is that they have been fooled
By remind us, and making us feel like a minuscule
They have just angered us, and we are using it as our fuel
To break everyone of their rules just to see them ridiculed
